3 subparts with internal choice in one subpart.

29. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow. 4

In 1981, the health workers of United States of America had become

aware of the s sarcoma, cancer of the skin
and blood vessels and another disease pneumocystis pneumonia, a
respiratory infection caused by a protozoan. Both these diseases were
very rare in the general population, but occurred frequently in more
severely immunosuppressed individuals. This led to the recognition of
the immune system disorder that was named Acquired Immune
Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS).
In 1983, virologists working in the USA and France had identified a
causative agent for
Virus (HIV).
the disease.

(a) Name the group of cells the HIV attacks after gaining entry into the
human body and write the various events that occur within this cell. 1

(b) Write the expanded form of the diagnostic test used for detecting
AIDS. Write the possible treatment available for the disease at
present. 1

(c) Mention any two steps suggested by WHO for preventing the spread
of this disease. 2

OR

(c) A patient suffering from AIDS does not die of this disease but from
some other infection. Justify the statement. 2

30. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow. 4
Spermatogenesis is an important primary sex characteristic in humans
and all other vertebrates. The process is coordinated and controlled
under the influence of hormones. It starts with the onset of puberty in
humans and thereafter continues. The primordial cells within the
embryonic testis which differentiate into spermatogonia are the
precursors of the sperms. These are located at the outer walls of the
seminiferous tubules where the process of spermatogenesis proceeds.

(a) State the site of action of FSH in the testes and describe its action
thereafter. 2

OR
(a) Describe the role of LH in the process of spermatogenesis. 2

(b) Name the cells and their products which undergo : 1

(i) Mitosis and Differentiation

(ii) Meiosis I and Meiosis II

during the process of spermatogenesis.

(c) Name the accessory ducts that the sperms travel through from
seminiferous tubules to reach the epididymis. 1

SECTION E

31. Answer the following questions that are based on

experiment using E. coli and bacteriophage :

(a) (i) Why did they use radioactive sulphur 35S and radioactive
phosphorus 32P in their respective culture media for growing
E. coli population which subsequently were infected by
bacteriophage ?
